B6006 WOLLATON ROAD, BEESTON - PROPOSED PUFFIN CROSSING

Overview

Via East Midlands Ltd is working on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council to deliver highway services in Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire County Council have received requests to install a puffin crossing on B6006 Wollaton Road, Beeston between the junctions of Bramcote Drive and Wollaton Crescent, which will make it safer for pedestrians crossing this busy road, especially in peak traffic times. A pedestrian survey was undertaken and indicated many movements across this road, given the high volume of traffic and the character of the road, it is considered appropriate to propose a puffin crossing at this location. This crossing will also improve access to Beeston Fields Primary School.

The proposed puffin crossing, will have a controlled area, indicated by lengths of zig-zag lines where parking, stopping and loading would be prohibited at all times.

As required under Section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (puffin crossing), I hereby enclose for your attention the statutory public notice stating the County Council’s intention to introduce the puffin crossing on Wollaton Road, Beeston.

The public notice will be published in the Nottingham Post and notices will be fixed on site. A plan showing the extents of the ‘No Stopping or No Loading At Any Time’ restrictions (Zig-Zag lines) is attached (Drawing Number 2550349/01) along with a copy of the site notice.
